Chapter 766
Liu He's expedition against Tubo this time deliberately created a bad reputation for Wang Yanzhang. The main purpose was actually to let Wang Yanzhang serve as the main general in the subsequent expedition against Tubo and lead his army to attack and destroy Tubo.

By interrogating the prisoners, Liu He learned that there were only 2 to [-] remnants of the Tibetan army, and that [-] of them were under the personal leadership of Songtsen Gampo, competing with Lu Xun in the southwest. It can be said that the current Tubo army Luoche's hometown is simply an undefended empty city. Wang Yanzhang is a talented commander and is good at attacking. There is no problem in taking over Tubo.

Therefore, after conquering Subi, Liu He appointed Wang Yanzhang as the commander-in-chief, leading [-] elite soldiers to take advantage of the emptiness and take advantage of it.

Because Wang Yanzhang had the problem of not knowing the way, in order to ensure the victory of the army, Liu He also sent several experienced guides and equipped them with a compass.

Proficient use of the compass is now almost a basic skill that Liu He's guides must master. Even so, Liu He only felt relieved after they demonstrated their skills in using the compass.

"Tibetan basically has no resistance now, so I don't have to worry about it. The soldiers have been fighting for several months, and they are already exhausted physically and mentally. After returning to the court this time, the squadron must take a good rest. , When the rest is over, I will consider other battlefields. Hehe, now there is Kong Ming sitting in the north. Although Genghis Khan is powerful, he can't make much waves in front of the mature and prudent Kong Ming, and Zhao Yun is sitting in the Liaodong area. This man is both civil and military. , I have never been defeated in my life, and I am very relieved about it. Zhou Gongjin, one of the top commanders of our army, is fighting against Wa in the southeast region, and Zhou Yu has the skills of water warfare and Vulcan. Even if he cannot win, he will definitely I can remain undefeated, so although it seems that there are constant wars on the border, there is no crisis anywhere. If this is the case, then I will take a good rest first, and then wait for the war in the western border to be completely over. The army wiped out the alien forces in one fell swoop, and ended the war completely."

Liu He had already made a plan in his heart, so he didn't have any worries at all. Instead, he ordered the army to advance slowly while observing and recording the terrain.

Wang Yanzhang, on the other hand, led the army to advance at a high speed. Since he was followed by a guide and Liu He's warning was in his ears, Wang Yanzhang did not dare not listen. There were no problems along the way. It took only a month to fly two kilometers. After traveling thousands of miles, we arrived at Luoxue City.

At this time, the leader of the Tubo clan, Mansong Mangzan, had actually already received the news of the army's defeat in Supi. However, because the number of people who could fight in the city was extremely limited, the old, weak, sick and disabled totaled only 3000 people. It was impossible to A strong and elite opponent who can conquer battles.

In fact, Mang Songtsan had already urged the Tubo chief Songtsan Gampo to lead his army back. However, the Tibetan army was now in a stalemate with Lu Xun's soldiers. It was impossible to escape for a while, and they were even as far as four thousand miles away from Lu Xun. Even if they were immediately It is estimated that it will take two months to escape and return to Luozhao. By the time his army returns, the day lilies will probably be cold.

"For the current plan, we can only fight desperately. Our army sticks to the fortress, and maybe there is still hope for the return of the army of the father (Mansong Mangzan is the grandson of Songtsen Gampo in history). If we go out to fight, it is estimated that If you can’t hold on for a day, it’s over, so everyone must obey my orders, without my orders, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight, otherwise, even if you win, you will be punished.”

Mansong Manzan considered it again and again, and finally made such a decision.

However, this decision was of no use at all, because even if he didn't say anything, absolutely no one in Tubo was willing to go out to fight. Everyone knew that facing the attack of the Han Dynasty army, there was no difference between going out to fight and committing suicide.

So all the soldiers guarded the city with anxiety in their hearts, hoping that the Han army would not come so early, and even hoped that the Han army would not come here.

Even if the military losses in Yizhou are not counted, the defeat of the Garqinling army this time alone caused heavy losses to the Tubo people, and the population dropped sharply. It is estimated that even in another 20 years, it will be difficult to return to the grand situation before the defeat.

Originally, Mansong Mangzan still had a little confidence in resisting the arrival of the Han army. Especially when they heard that the Han army only had 5000 people this time, they were full of hope. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was not very big. Attacking the city The total number of troops on one side is less than double the total number of troops on the defending side. In this case, as long as you grit your teeth and defend, victory is still possible.

However, when they heard who the leader of the Han army was, they all gasped, and the remaining will to resist in their hearts melted away.

"What did you say? It turned out to be Wang Yanzhang, the barbarian, who led the army here? Why is it him? Why is it him?" Mansong Manzan heard the news, and suddenly felt chills from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, because now Wang Yanzhang's vicious reputation has already been spread in Tubo. It spread among the scholars, and almost everyone knew that this man was a big devil who killed people without batting an eyelid, but he was also brave and invincible. Even the most brave Garqin Mausoleum in Tubo couldn't survive three days under his hands. Hey, isn't it a great misfortune for the army and people of Tubo that such warriors come here?
"Wang Manzi is here, what else can we say? Needless to say, even Wang Manzi alone can kill all the guarding soldiers in our city, not to mention that he still has five thousand elite soldiers under his command , this time we have no hope at all, everyone, give up resistance and escape on your own."

The word "resistance" could not be uttered in Mansong Manzan's mouth at all, and even if it was uttered, no one would obey it, so instead of uttering it, it is better not to say it, and just declare to escape.

"Young master, let's go. The enemy army is invincible. That Wang Manzi can kill the son of Garqin Ling with a single shot. This man's martial arts are considered top-notch in my Tubo, but he was still killed instantly. We even Qinling Mr. Ling is not as good as you, and you are even more irresistible. You are my young master of Tubo, and you are responsible for the future and hope of Tubo. The Lord kept his useful body, so it might not be possible to kill him back in the future."

Mansong Mangzan was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he quickly tried to persuade him with words.

In fact, where does Mansong Mangzan need persuasion?He immediately decided to run away, so he didn't dare to face Wang Yanzhang. He hurried out of the mansion gate with his personal guards, rode on a horse, and killed him in the direction of the west gate. He heard that Wang Yanzhang is now Right at the east gate, as long as Wang Yanzhang is not around, I am fully confident that I can break out.
